Here is a good London England Vacation sample and some other tips for you….

How to get there and get around once there

If flying, you will probably come in through Heathrow Airport…. then take the tube directly to the station closest to your hotel…

While we were in London, the public transportation was awesome!!! We used the bus system, and the tube with no problems at all!

Where to stay

For our trip, we had an area that we wanted to find a hotel in… The Kensington Gardens / Hyde Park Area….We were visiting friends and wanted to be in that general area.

We wanted to be sure to be fairly close to a Tube Station, so the search began on TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor allows visitors to post photographs and comment on the conditions of the rooms and the general condition of the hotel, so this information was very nice to have!

We chose the Premier Inn Kensington (Earl’s Court). This hotel had an option to select a less expensive rate if we chose the “no change” option… meaning that we were locked in to our choice. The Premier Inn offers a breakfast plan as well as a dinner plan. We chose the breakfast option as this is one less worry for us.
